How should the senior team line up tonight (10 p.m. ET, beIN Sport) against Guatemala? You tell us.

With Tim Howard and Brad Guzan both in the mix (and out of form), Jurgen Klinsmann is dealing with a goalkeeping crossroads that the men’s national team hasn’t faced in nearly 20 years. “The transition (in the past) probably was easier, it was different,” Klinsmann said. “Maybe three, four very strong guys, established players.
